The Fae folk, or faerie, are of mythical beings or legendary creatures based in the supernatural realm of the fae. They may be spiritual in nature or have corporeal forms. Many different cultures have different ideas of what constitutes fae folk.

In some folklore, Fae are divided into Seelie (Beneficial) and Unseelie (Malicious) Courts. Seelie fae may enjoy performing pranks on humans, while Unseelie fae may enjoy harming humans in some way.

One persistent folk legend among fae is that they steal babies from humans and leave a faerie baby in their place, called a changeling.
